Know all fmen by these presents:

That I, Sumo): TAYLOR, of the city and county of Worcester, andCommonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented cert-ain, new and useful'Improvements in Lib1aiy-0rgans; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thisspecification, in which- Figure 1 represents a front view of my improvedlibrary-organ, onev of the-doors of the library-case being shown open,and i `Figure'2 nepresents a section on line A B, fig. 1.v

To enable those skilled in the art to which my invention :belongs tomake 'and use the same, I will proceed to describe it more in detail..

YIn the drawings- The `part A represents the case of' the organ ormelodeon, and

B, C, and D, the cover to the key-board.

The part D is fitted so that it can slide back under the library-case E,the part 0 being hinged to the part D, at a, and the part B to thepal-.t O, at b,vwhereby, when the part D is shoved back to the back ofthe library-case, the part O canv be folded up against the frontthereof, or the parts B and O may be folded on top of part D, and thethree parts slipped `under together, thus leaving the key-board exposed,while the cover is folded in a compact and 'neat manner.

The ends ofthe rear upright part of the cover-piece D are notched out toreceive lthe inner front projections of the side-pieces F, of thelibrary-case, as'indi- `cated in dotted lines, g. 2, for the purpose ofpreventing the key-board cover from being drawn ,too far forward.

The library-case E is fittedwith adjustable shelves G G G, and lwithdoors H H, the cent-res of which are' the pnblic', and has met with.unprecedented favor, and

approved, byreason of'the fact that itcombines the advantages of anorgan and a library, and that, too, without occupying more spaceupon-the door of the room` than is ordinarily required fora separateorganv or library-case. l

The: action of the organ has not been shown in the drawings', as any ofthe actions in common use may be combined with the organ-case A.

Stand c furnishes a proper support for the music mk. Y .I f

.Having described my improved library-organ, What 1 claim therein as newand of my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A-combined organ and library, or book-case, made substantially asherein described. i

2. The arrangement, with respect to the orgau-case A and book-case E, ofthe sliding cover B G D and stand c, substantially as shown anddescribed.
